Description: The present invention relates to fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agents. Background art Composite materials comprising an inorganic material and an organic material in combination are presently used in various fields because of their outstanding properties and sophisticated functions. With composite materials, control of the interface between the different component materials thereof is a very important problem. As one method of control, silane coupling agents are used for modifying the surface of inorganic materials. With the introduction of fluorocarbon chains having peculiar properties such as water or oil repellency, high lubricity and chemical resistance into silane coupling agents, increased attention has been directed to the application of these agents as surface modifying agents having a function different from that of imparting improved adhesion. For example, magnetic fluids can be obtained pulverization, deflocculation or a process involving adsorption in an aqueous solution and organic phase dispersion. In the case of any of these processes, finely divided magnetite, iron or like ferromagnetic material is given affinity for a solvent by being caused to adsorb a surfactant on the surface for modification and then dispersed in a base oil. However, the magnetic fluid incorporating the surfactant is unsatisfactory in heat resistance, cold resistance, resistance to chemicals, insulating properties, etc. Especially the surfactant used for stabilizing the dispersion of the finely divided ferromagnetic material usually has a hydrophilic group, so that when water or a highly humid gas is sealed with the magnetic fluid, water dissolves in the magnetic fluid, releasing the surfactant from the material and deteriorating the magnetic fluid. Further magnetic fluids wherein a hydrocarbon oil is used as the base oil are -20 °C to 150 °C in the range of heat-resistant temperatures, solidify in a cold climate or deteriorate in a high temperature range owing to oxidation and therefore remain to be improved. In order to develop a magnetic fluid having a wide heat-resistant temperature range and high water resistance, we have conducted research and found that this purpose can be accomplished by modifying the surface of a finely divided magnetic material with a fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agent and dispersing the material is a medium, and also by using a fluorine-containing oil having a wide heat-resistant temperature range as the dispersion medium (base oil). JP-A-3-106889 discloses fluorine-containing organic silicon compounds having the formula R n X 3-n Si-CH 2 -CH 2 -C 6 H m F 5-m or wherein R is alkyl group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, X is a halogen atom or an alkoxyl group, m is an integer of 0 to 4, n is an integer of 0 to 2. In particular, JP-A-3-106889 discloses These compounds are said to be usable as silane coupling agents. An object of the present invention is to provide a fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agent which is advantageously usable for preparing a magnetic fluid having a wide heat-resistant temperature range and high water resistance. Disclosure of the invention The present invention provides a fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agent represented by the formula (1) wherein X is H, F, Cl, C 1∼20 alkyl or C 1∼20 alkoxyl, p is an integer of 1 to 4, Y is -CAB(CH 2 ) m Si(CH 3 ) n Z 3-n , A and B are each H or CH 3 , Z is OCH 3 or OC 2 H 5 , and m and n are each 0 or 1, and Rf is C 1∼20 fluoroalkyl or C 1∼100 fluoropolyether group. The invention further provides a finely divided magnetic material having its surface modified with the fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agent. According to the invention, examples of C 1∼20 alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, hexyl, nonyl, dodecyl, heptadecyl, eicosyl. Examples of C 1∼20 alkoxyl groups are alkoxyl groups corresponding to the above-mentioned alkyl groups. Examples of C 1∼20 fluoroalkyl groups are CF 3 (CF 2 ) l -, l is 0 to 19, (CF 3 ) 2 CF(CF 2 ) p -, p is 0 to 17, H(CF 2 ) q -, q is 1 to 20. Examples of C 1∼100 fluoropolyether groups are F(CF 2 CF 2 CF 2 O) r -, r is 1 to 33, F[CF 2 CF(CF 3 )O] r -, r is 1 to 33, F[CF(CF 3 )CF 2 O] s (CF 2 O) t -, s is 0 to 33, t is 0 to 100, CF 3 O(CF 2 CF 2 O) u (CF 2 O) v -, u is 0 to 49, v is 0 to 99. In the synthesis of the fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agent of the invention, a starting material wherein in the formula (1) Y is -CH(OH)CH 3 is obtained, for example, by reacting a methyl magnesium halide with a fluorine-containing aromatic aldehyde of the formula (2), and hydrolyzing the resulting product wherein X, Rf and p are each as defined above. When further dehydrated, this compound gives an intermediate product wherein Y is -CH=CH 2 . Another starting material wherein Y is -COCH 3 is obtained, for example, by reacting an acetylphenyl bromide derivative of the formula (3) with RfD wherein Rf is as defined above, and D is a halogen atom wherein X and p are each as defined above. When subsequently reduced, this compound affords a compound wherein Y is -CH(OH)CH 3 . When further dehydrated, this compound gives another intermediate product wherein Y is -CH=CH 2 . A further starting material wherein Y is -COOC 2 H 5 is prepared, for example, by reacting an ethyl iodobenzoate derivative of the formula (4) with RfD wherein Rf and D are each as defined above wherein X and p are each as defined above. This compound, when reacted with a methyl magnesium halide, gives a compound wherein Y is -C(CH 3 ) 2 OH, which affords a further intermediate product wherein Y is -C(CH 3 )=CH 2 when further dehydrated. In a subsequent step, a compound wherein Y is -CAB(CH 2 ) m Si(CH 3 ) n Cl 3-n is obtained, for example, by reacting one of the above obtained intermediate products, i.e., a styrene derivative of the formula (5) with HSi(CH 3 ) n Cl 3-n wherein X, p, Rf and A are each as defined above. When subsequently reacted with sodium methoxide, this compound gives a fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agent of the invention wherein Y is -CAB(CH 2 ) m Si(CH 3 ) n (OCH 3 ) 3-n . Typical examples of the foregoing reactions are, for example, as follows when expressed by chemical reaction equations. The above compounds can be separated off and purified by usual known methods such as extraction, concentration, distillation, recrystallization and chromatography. The above-mentioned fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agents are usable, for example, for modifying the surface of particulate magnetic materials. A magnetic fluid can be obtained by dispersing the modified particulate magnetic material in a dispersion medium (base oil). The particulate magnetic material can be any kind of magnetic powder such as magnetite, maghemite, samarium-cobalt, or iron nitride powder. Examples of useful dispersion media are methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol and like alcohols represented by C w H 2w+l OH wherein w is 1 to 18, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone and like ketones, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate and like esters, n-hexane, isooctane, heptane, industrial gasoline, toluene, xylene and like hydrocarbons, naphthalene, naphthalenes and like liquid compounds having a naphthalene skeleton and one or two C 1∼20 alkyl groups as substituents, trichlorotrifluoroethane (F-113), poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene) (PCTFE) [brand name, Daifloil, product of Daikin Industries, Ltd.], perfluoropolyether [brand name, Demnum, product of Daikin Industries, Ltd., brand name, Krytox, product of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., brand name, Fomblin, product of Montefluous] and like fluorine-containing oils. Especially preferable are fluorine-containing oils which have a wide heat-resistant temperature range. For magnetic particles to be present in the dispersion medium with stability in preparing the magnetic fluid, the magnetic particles need to be prevented from coagulating in the steps of preparation process, and the surfaces of the particles as finely divided must be modified with the fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agent. For this purpose, we have found it effective, for example, to treat the surfaces of the magnetic particles with a surfactant and then contact the particle surfaces with the silane coupling agent to replace the surfactant adsorbed on the particle surfaces by the silane coupling agent. Examples of useful surfactants are oleic acid, stearic acid, myristic acid, aerosol OT (AOT), nonyl phenyl ethers and fluorine-containing surfactants. According to the present invention, the fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agent is reacted with a magnetic fluid wherein fine magnetic particles are present as stably dispersed, with oleic acid or like surfactant adsorbed on the particles, whereby the surfactant is released from the particles, permitting the coupling agent to be bonded to the particles which remain small in size. We have found that this method releases a major portion of the surfactant (99 % in the case of oleic acid), nearly quantitatively replacing the surfactant by the coupling agent. The surfactant is adsorbed by the surfaces of the magnetic particles, allowing the particles to be dispersed in the solvent, but is held adsorbed in equilibrium. It is thought that fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agent combines with hydroxyl on the particle surface by a covalent bond and therefore does not become released when once bonded, and that the replacement occurs successively, liberating almost the entire amount of surfactant. Since the magnetic particles obtained by this method are readily dispersible in F-113, PCTFE and like fluorine-containing oils, it appears that they remain very small in size (4-7 nm, mean particle size 5.5 nm). When the surfactant was not used for modification, the fluorine-containing aromatic silane coupling agent combined with the surfaces of agglomerates, and it was impossible to modify the surfaces of fine particles. Best mode of carrying out the invention The invention will be described below in detail with reference to examples. Example 1 Magnesium (3.71 g/0.153 mol) was placed into a flask of the egg-plant type, followed by the replacement of air by nitrogen and addition of 30 ml of ether. While gently stirring the mixture, a solution of methyl iodide (24.4 g/0.172 mol) in ether (20 ml) was slowly added dropwise to the mixture, and the resulting mixture was refluxed with heating for 30 minutes. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, and a solution of 4-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde (25.1 g/0.144 mole) in ether (20 ml) was slowly added dropwise to the mixture. The mixture was refluxed with heating for 2 hours, 30 ml of water was added dropwise to the mixture with ice cooling, and hydrochloric acid (2N) was further added until the aqueous layer became transparent. The aqueous layer was separated from an ethereal layer, the aqueous layer was subjected to extraction with ether, and the ethereal layers were combined, and the combined layer was washed with an aqueous solution of common salt three times. After removal of ether, the layer was distilled at a reduced pressure, giving 1-(1-hydroxylethyl)-4-trifluoromethylbenzene [compound (I)] represented by the formula CF 3 C 6 H 4 CH(OH)CH 3 , b.p. 53∼ 55 °C (50.5 Pa), colorless transparent liquid, yield 98.3 %. Example 2 To the compound (I) (27.0 g/0.142 mol) were added potassium hydrogensulfate (7 g) and 4-tert-butylcatechol (polymerization inhibitor, 0.01 g).

Ether (20 ml) was added to the distillate, an ethereal layer was separated from water, and sodium sulfate was added to the layer for dehydration, followed by filtration. The ether was removed from the filtrate, to which 4-tert-butylcatechol was added again.

A solution of the CF 3 (CF 2 ) 3 C 6 H 4 COCH 3 (22.1 g) obtained in Example 3 in ether was slowly added dropwise to the suspension with stirring, and the mixture was refluxed with heating for 30 minutes. Water was added to the reaction mixture with ice cooling until H 2 ceased to evolve, and 10 % aqueous solution of sulfuric acid was added to the mixture until a white precipitate [Al(OH) 3 ] dissolved. The resulting mixture was separated into an aqueous layer and an ethereal layer, the aqueous layer was subjected to extraction with ether, and the resulting ethereal layer was added to the ethereal layer.

Compound D: CF 3 (CF 2 ) m C 6 H 4 CH 2 CH 2 Si(CH 3 )(OCH 3 ) 2 Compound E: CF 3 (CF 2 ) m C 6 H 4 CH(CH 3 )CH 2 Si(CH 3 )(OCH 3 ) 2 Compound F: CF 3 (CF 2 ) m C 6 H 4 CH 2 CH 2 Si(OCH 3 ) 3 Compound G: CF 3 (CF 2 ) m C 6 H 4 CH(CH 3 )CH 2 Si(OCH 3 ) 3 Compound H: CF 3 (CF 2 ) m CH 2 CH 2 Si(CH 3 )(OCH 3 ) 2 (The compound H is a comparative example.) A plate of the glass was immersed in a solution of 10 mmols of the test compound in CFC-113, and the solution was heated at 47 °C for 1 hour. The glass plate was thereafter withdrawn from the solution, washed with CFC-113 and heat-treated at 200 °C for 1 hour. Thirty days thereafter, the contact angle of liquid drops, 1×10 -6 dm 3 , on the glass plate was measured under the conditions of 22∼ 24 °C and RH 35∼ 40%. The water repellency of the compound was evaluated in terms of the contact angle of water, and the oil repellency thereof in terms of the contact angle of oleic acid. Table 3 shows the result. Test Example 2 (Oxidation Resistance Test) The glass plate used in Test Example 1 for measuring the contact angle was heated in a hot concentrated nitric acid at 100 °C for 2 hours for oxidation and thereafter checked for contact angle. Table 3 shows the result. water repellency water oil repellency oleic acid oxidation resistance water oleic acid Compound D m=0 100.0 59.0 88.0 44.0 m=3 101.0 60.0 92.5 52.5 m=5 101.5 62.5 93.0 54.0 m=7 103.5 63.0 97.0 56.0 Compound E m=3 100.0 56.0 78.0 49.0 m=5 101.0 58.0 80.0 51.0 m=7 101.5 61.0 82.5 53.0 Compound F m=0 99.0 51.0 85.0 42.0 m=3 102.0 59.0 92.0 50.0 m=5 103.0 62.0 101.0 62.0 m=7 103.0 64.0 102.0 64.0 Compound G m=3 99.5 59.0 98.0 57.0 m=5 101.0 62.0 100.0 59.0 m=7 102.5 65.0 100.5 60.0 Compound H m=3 86.0 58.0 46.0 33.0 m=5 100.0 63.0 62.0 39.0 m=7 103.0 68.0 74.0 50.0
